IMPROVEMENT IN ROLLS FOR CLOTH-WINDING MACHINES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 147,541, dated February17, 1874; application tiled May 29,1873.

T) all hom. it may concern:

.3e it known that we, CHARLES A. YOUNG- a-nd SOLOMON \V. YOUNG, ofProvidence, in the county of Providence and State of Rhode Island, haveinvented an Improved Paper Roll for Cloth, of which the iollowing is aspecification Our invention consists in a paper shell. or roll foracloth winding or measuring machine, and intended as a substitute for thewooden rolls 110w in use, which are defective in many respects, beingliable to allow the cloth to slip on the roll, thus causing the indexwhich registers the number of yards to measure incorrectly. \Voodenrolls ot'ten split, and are thus rendered useless, causing trouble andloss of time. They are heavier, and take up more space, than the paperroll, which is intended to obviate the above diflicult-ies, and is shownin the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 represents a shell onthe mandrel.

cord is inserted, whichiorinsthe spline a. The whole being pasted orglued together, makes a very hard shell, which, after being dried, isread y to receive the cloth.

The shell, being placed on the i-nandrel B, is held in position by thespline a, which fits in a corresponding' groove in the mandrel; theflattened end of which is pivoted at c to a projection on thewindinganachiue, while the other end revolves in a bearing which permitsof its being easily removed for the purpose of changing the shell.

00rd is considered the best material for forming the spline; but othersubstances may be used, as leather, wood, or pasteboard.

The spline may, also, be made of any shape; a semicircular one, however,is more easily adapted to the purpose.

What we claim as our invent-ion is- In a cloth winding or measuringmachine, a paper shell or roll, constructed and secured to the mandrelsubstantially as and for the purpose herein described.
